"This summer is going to be our biggest ever out of East Midlands Airport and putting on more seats on sale to Turkey, Ibiza and Crete today shows how much demand we are seeing."

Howard Ebison, commercial director at East Midlands Airport, told the Nottingham Post : "We're delighted that Jet2.com and Jet2holidays is adding more flights to some of Europe's most popular summer holiday destinations this year.

"Building on our busiest summer since 2008 last year, we expect even more passengers to fly to and from East Midlands Airport this year thanks to these additional services.

"This gives local holidaymakers more flexibility and opportunities to reach their holiday destinations.

"It also further reinforces the fact that we are the airport of choice for holidaymakers in this region for short-haul summer breaks."
